STAY CONNECTED

Cosmic Ray’s Starlight Cafe in Walt Disney World’s Magic Kingdom is a guest favorite. It’s here you’ll find burgers, chicken, and the occasional limited time offering (like these funky Galaxy Fries and the lauded Pork Belly Burger)! But the popular quick service spot is currently undergoing a refurbishment — partially.

At present, construction walls are up around Bay 2, where you’d typically find a selection of burgers, sandwiches, and salads. The walls extend through the central seating area (the largest section of seating in the restaurant), including around the stage where diners would normally spot Sonny Eclipse.

Here’s another look from Bay 1 looking toward Bay 2. Note that both toppings bars are still accessible, but you can’t get through Bay 2 to move from Bay 1 to Bay 3.

Bay 2 and the central seating area are visible through the windows, and our Disney pal Daniel Wanderman (@wanderdisney) took a peek for us. 😉 Sonny has been removed from his stage, but we’re assured he’ll be returning.

We’re told that it’s likely Bay 1 and Bay 3 will be refreshed after Bay 2 reopens, and the restaurant is expected to remain open throughout the refurbishments.

Is Sonny back? I’m taking my son to Disney next week (February 18th) for his 16th Birthday and he asked that I make all the dinner reservations so he’ll be surprised. I was hoping to take him here, thought he’d get a kick out of it. So far I’ve been very lucky with my bookings. Just this week, I’ve gotten us into Be Our Guest, Sci-Fi Dine-In and 50’s Prime Time Café. If anyone has the answer, please let me know. Fingers crossed my luck holds up.
